Day three of the electrical rough-in was today. I am no electrician, but it appears to me they’re just about done. And we have light in the kitchen! There are six recessed cans installed into the ceiling. Right now these just have temporary bulbs — not the nice LED downlights we’ll have eventually — but the amount & even-ness of the light in the kitchen far surpasses what was in the old kitchen already.
The electricians still have to wire the two outlets we asked for that are not related to the kitchen (one for the fridge in the basement and one dedicated to the window A/C in our bedroom), run the stubs for the circuits we’ll need in the addition once that part of the project gets going, and do the low-voltage wiring (speakers, ethernet, and phone). It’s educational for me to look at their work and see how a modern electrician chooses to do things when walls are wide open.
